SPECIAL EDITION

CONTROL

Welcome Back!

It’s been a while since the last edition of Control. Seven years to be precise. But seven years seems insignificant in comparison to the 90 years we’re proud to be celebrating this year. 90 years of Caernarvonshire & Anglesey Motor Club. We couldn’t let such a milestone go amiss, so the club has decided to host ’90 Days of C&A’ and the revival of Control for some special editions to cover it. There is a lot going on in the next 13 weeks which we’ll bring you up to speed with during this issue.

I feel a special thanks must go to the previous Control editor, Francine, for the hard work she put into Control previously. Hopefully, I can follow closely in her footsteps. If enough people enjoy these special editions, Control might make a full return. For now, however, we’re here to focus on one thing and one thing only…

If you have anything you’d like to contribute to these limited special editions, please let me know via email. It can be articles, photos, or business advertisements. Either way, we hope you enjoy this edition and stay tuned for the forthcoming ones.

Diolch yn fawr!

90 Days of C&A So... what is this event?

To mark our 90th anniversary, we’re hosting 13 weeks (which equates to 90 days) of non-stop activities both in-person and online.

Every week there will be an event!

The idea was brought forward by one of our committee members, Dion Bee, towards the end of the 2025 year: something massive to commemorate another great milestone for the club.

Of course, this couldn’t be possible without the help of everyone. Whilst we’re still ironing out some last minute details, the calendar is pretty full with a variety of events from different people for everyone to enjoy.

Some of the events include scatters, nav runs, and our first upcoming event a Pub Quiz, hosted by Peredur Davies. All of the events will be on our website and posted on our social medias, so keep an eye out for any events you’d be interested in joining.

As a club, we noted a severe lack in social events in recent years which led to many of the club members not knowing each other outside their respective disciplines.

So, that was one of the first group of events we wanted to hold in order for our near 300 active members to meet people they otherwise might not have.

At the end of these issues of Control, as well as on our socials, there will be an updated calendar of all the events going on in the month, so remember to keep checking what’s coming up. And remember, all these events count towards the Club Championship! So, be sure to attend with a valid membership, or come help out and claim those marshal points!

To settle the 90 Days into a nice time of year, we’ll finish during our run at Anglesey Autofest. We hope to go out with a bang with our autotest, passenger rides, and a raffle with proceeds going to Wales Air Ambulance (more information on the raffle coming soon).

This is what Dion Bee has to say The whole idea of this is to celebrate the club and our members. I've been a member or C&A for nearly 20 years and throughout those years have met some amazing people and made some lifelong friends. As the article above states - I really do hope that all the events we are putting on will have something that appeals to everyone and I urge everyone to take part and engage as much as you can - bring your friends and families, too! If some of the events are more popular than others - we might try to squeeze them onto our regular calendar for next year! Before it all kicks off - make sure you are following our social media pages so you get updates on our progress, access to results and reviews and all the online campaigns.

I hope to see a lot of members enjoying themselves on events during the next 90 days! Until then - thank you in advance for showing an interest, being our members and showcasing the club at different events all over the country, every week throughout the year. The club would be nothing without you!

With enough going on, we hope to see you at one of the event!

Enjoy! Hwyl!
